The equation 44 - x + 2x = 50 can be used to determine the number of cats/kittens adopted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of cats/kittens at the event = 44

Number of cats/kittens at the end of event = 50

Let,

x be the number of cats/kittens adopted

Therefore;

Number of cats/kittens returned = 2x

Number of cats/kittens at the event - adopted + returned = Number at the end of event

44 - x + 2x = 50

The equation 44 - x + 2x = 50 can be used to determine the number of cats/kittens adopted.

A fundraiser was held to split the profits between the 9 baseball players. How much money was raised if each player earned $326?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Part 1

The number of baseball players that are to split the profits = 9 baseball payers

The amount of money each player earned = $326

Let <em>x </em>represent the total amount of money raised, and given that each baseball player received equal amount of the profits we have the following division equation;

The \ division \ equation \ is , \dfrac{x}{9} = \$ \, 326

Part 2

Solving for the variable, gives;

x = 9 × $ 326 = $2,934

The amount of profits from the fundraiser, x = $2,934

Part 3

The amount, <em>A</em>, each of the 9 players will earn from the profit of $2,934 raised in the fund raiser is given as follows;

A = $2,934/9 = $326

∴ The amount each of the 9 players will earn, A = $326, therefore the answer corresponds to the value in the question and is therefore, correct

A stainless steel patio heater is a square pyramid. The length of one side of the base is 22.2 in. The slant height of the pyram
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

<h2>The height is 87.5 in</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve the height of a square pyramid using the Pythagoras theorem, this is because the slant height the height and the section of the base form a right triangle

the slant height is equivalent to the hypotenuse

the height is equivalent to the opposite

while the base(half) is the adjacent

Given

the base of the pyramid= 22.2 in

the adjacent is = \frac{22.2}{2} = 11.1 in

the slant height (hypotenuse)= 88.2 in

we know that Pythagoras theorem states that "The sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs of a right triangle ('a' and 'b' in the triangle) is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse ('c').

c^2=a^2 + b^2

hyp^2=opp^2+adj^2

substituting we have

88.2^2=opp^2+11.1^2\\opp^2= 88.2^2-11.1^2\\opp^2=7779.24-123.21\\opp^2=7656.03\\opp=\sqrt{7656.03} \\opp=87.498\\opp=87.50 in

Helppppp! please show your work!
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

90 - 37 will give a solid 53

Step-by-step explanation:

the two sums of A to C to C to B so 22.9(C, B) and 14.1 (A, C)

and know that this angle is 90 degrees, my guess would be to subtract the to given numbers with degrees to earn the sum so 22.9 + 14.1 equals 37

now we add angle degrees and sum and subtract one another,

90 - 37

What is the volume of the cylinder below? A cylinder with a height of 12 millimeters and diameter of 18 millimeters. 108 pi mm3
Artemon [7]

Answer:

V =972 pi mm ^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter is 18 so the radius is 1/2 of the diameter

18/2 = 9

r=9

The volume of a cylinder is

V = pi r^2 h

V = pi (9)^2 12

V =972 pi mm ^3
